The school at the former GE campus will be called Amp Lab at Electric Works.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis will be a lab environment at Electric Works for 11th- and 12th-grade students to prepare for innovative careers,\u201d Dr. Daniel said. \u201cStudents are going to be able to concentrate on entrepreneurship as the hub of their learning at Amp Lab.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Amp Lab gets its name from two unique distinctions: The root word ampere is the base unit of electrical current and pays homage to the history of the General Electric campus. The name also reflects the innovative environment that will amplify the opportunities students have to learn creatively within the community.<\/p>\n<p>The school will open in August 2022 and will be open to all FWCS 11th- and 12th-graders.  More information about the student experience and how to enroll will be available later this year with applications being accepted in January 2022.<\/p>\n<p>Riley Johnson will lead Amp Lab. Johnson was one of the first teachers at New Tech Academy at Wayne when it opened, and in 2014, he moved to Napa, Calif., to serve as principal at New Technology High School, the flagship school of the New Tech Network. He returned to FWCS in 2019 as an assistant principal. He has been a strong proponent of turning the community into the classroom for students.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAmp Lab transforms what workforce development during high school can and should look like,\u201d Johnson said. \u201cWe\u2019re not just preparing students for jobs; we\u2019re preparing them for careers that haven\u2019t even been developed yet. Students need to be flexible, creative and perseverant. Amp Lab will provide a key opportunity to develop entrepreneurial mindsets.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Fort Wayne Community Schools<\/strong><br \/>\nWith nearly 30,000 students, Fort Wayne Community Schools is one of the largest school districts in Indiana.
